 1     2|        not sleep~Between those champions, matched in heart and deed.~
 2     2|        dwarf exclaimed, `These champions will assay~Their force with
 3    11|     tree and tree, two furious champions found,~Waging fierce fight
 4    15|      duke returns where he the champions two~And dames had left,
 5    16|  Thither, in shining arms, the champions came.~At Gryphon's sight
 6    16|   field so widely, where those champions war,~That without more dispute
 7    17|      their arms so wrought the champions brave,~They freed Lucina
 8    17|   length he breaks the ordered champions through,~Amid loud laughter
 9    18|        where Rumour speaks the champions met.~So that his ears, on
10    18|      and to his slight.~Of his champions England's cavalier,~Sir
11    19|   eschew~That in the lists ten champions overbore,~And having this
12    19|   Again their rugged rhind the champions wore,~Girding the faithful
13    19|        and play their part~The champions hoped alike in either feat.~
14    19|    sate long time, to view~The champions with such horrid strokes
15    20|       those hundred dames good champions were:~A hundred they; and,
16    20|    files than one;~And the ten champions have as well the care~To
17    20|       not restrain?~If our ten champions had possessed such might,~
18    20|      speed~So that he kill ten champions in the fray,~A hundred women'
19    22|    hold~Should be his faithful champions for a year~And month; and
20    22|       with four~Such matchless champions hazard the career.~Clothes,
21    22|       where fell~The four good champions of that evil law,~Made by
22    23|   truncheons which the valiant champions bear,~Fail in the combat,
23    24|    breath, without repose,~The champions one another still assail;~
24    24|         Hence dared not 'twixt champions interpose,~Nor deemed his
25    26|  stranger's name,~Who thus the champions on their road delayed,~And
26    26|     wise~You know), and in the champions' company~Doralice, cause
27    26|      LXXXIV~So perfect are the champions' plate and chain,~They thrust
28    26|       must rest.~The two first champions towards Paris go,~And the
29    27|       front)~"Than voice which champions me to martial field;~But
30    30|        of the day remained the champions spent~As wont, in giving
31    30| anxiously attends~Those goodly champions' contest for the prize,~
32    30|    mighty blows with pain.~The champions evermore their strokes redouble~
33    31|     Agramant's host the united champions break,~And scatter it, like
34    31|      went,~But not an inch the champions backward bent.~ ~ XIV~The
35    32|        sole touch unhorsed all champions were.~Needless anew I deem
36    32|         of might so tried,~Few champions but to them in prowess yield,~
37    33| dextrous two.~Already 'gan the champions' fury heat,~And fast and
38    33|   Hearing a mighty noise, both champions turn,~And good Baiardo,
39    33|        so he might disturb the champions' fight.~ ~  LXXXVI~So deemed
40    35|      me, by forcing me to meet~Champions like thee, untried in martial
41    36|       descry~The duel of those champions stood apart.~The god of
42    37|       glaive,~And steed, their champions to his prisons go;~And this
43    38|     these, to swear arrive the champions twain;~And this the promise
44    39|        from sight.~ ~ VIII~The champions two, that, against all accord,~
45    40|        Defy Orlando, backed by champions twain;~Whom bold Gradasso
46    41|        in warlike sleight,~Nor champions differing much in martial
47    45|      assorted; and declare~The champions worthy of each other are.~ ~
